Fuck My Hellmouth! Buffy S6; Ep.10 - Wrecked (After Episode Discussion) Bonus
Show notes
This was by far our longest episode of 'Fuck My Hellmouth' because it stirred up something in us and we debated for an entire hour lol. So we decided to release the post episode discussion as a bonus episode. Check it out, let us know your thoughts on our opinions and please NO SPOILERS in the comments. This is still Bobby's first time watching the show so no info beyond this episode we just watched. Also, you can catch our full episode reactions on Patreon with 'The Hellmouth Package' ($4.00) or the Flicks N Tricks Package which includes , early podcast episodes, Buffy reactions and a full movie reaction ($6.00).
Spike, Buffy, Willow, and Dawn all collide in one of the messiest Buffy episodes yet, and we are here for every chaotic second of it. What started as a regular reaction quickly turned into a debate about magic addiction, sexual tension, bad decisions, and who in the Scooby Gang is actually the real problem right now. We get into:
• Why Buffy and Spike feel equal parts hot, frustrating, and deeply unstable
• How Willow’s power trip starts looking like an addiction
• Why Dawn’s slap felt earned after everything that happened
• Whether Xander deserves more credit than the fanbase gives him
• The difference between being “playful” and being genuinely immatureAnd because we are who we are this conversation goes completely off the rails in the best way. We also dug into who is actually fun to hang out with on Buffy, which characters are carrying the emotional weight of the show, and the strongest relationships are finally starting to crack.

But Did You Die?!
Season 5, Episode 185

This episode we test our survival odds against demons, zombies, killer sharks, aliens, haunted hospitals, and more in a hilarious debate covering films like Scream, Halloween II, The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl, Aliens, Evil Dead Rise and more. Expect wild escape plans, questionable decisions, and plenty of arguments over who would make it out alive. (Side-note: This is an episode from weeks ago that we completely forgot about lol)

It Was Your Fault and I Hope You Burn in Hell!
Season 5, Episode 181
Show notes
Some horror movie deaths are tragic, BUT also avoidable. This episode is about the ones that were absolutely, undeniably somebody's fault. We go full chaos mode calling out the characters who ignored every warning, split up for no reason, and turned a bad situation into a body count. If you've ever yelled at the screen, "Now bitch, why would you do that?!" this one is for you. We keep it honest, petty, and chaotic as we argue over who really deserves the blame. Let us know which ones you agree or disagree with. Also, name some characters in the comments that you think is to blame for deaths in a horror movie. Shoutout to @Bloodybroads and @ScreamKingz. Go follow and subscribe to both podcasts!

Desires & Wishes Gone Bad
Season 5, Episode 179
Show notes
What happens when you get exactly what you wished for? In horror, usually nothing good. This week, we're diving into wishes, curses, and supernatural bargains gone horribly wrong. From Obsession, Wishmaster and The Craft to Buffy, Goosebumps, and The Monkey's Paw, we're discussing why horror has taught us to be very careful what we wish for...because sometimes getting what you want is the real nightmare.

Evil Dead Burn
Season 5, Episode 178
Show notes
In this episode, we're diving into Evil Dead Burn and talking about everything that makes this movie such a violent, chaotic addition to the franchise. From the brutal kills and Deadite mayhem to the Necronomicon, the Kandarian Dagger, and all the family drama gone horribly wrong, we're breaking it all down. We'll compare it to previous Evil Dead films, discuss where the franchise could go next, and talk about how grief, trauma, and domestic violence are woven into the horror. Basically, we came for the gore and stayed for the absolute chaos.
